You are now talking about the difference between a programming style  
and explicit support for such a programming style. Of course, you can  
program in a style while using a language that doesn't explicitly  
support that style, for example, by doing object-oriented programming  
in plain C. Same for AOP, and for any other programming paradigm for  
that matter. (Most programming languages are Turing equivalent,  
right? ;)
